Help with a school project

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi all, my technology class has just received out state exam brief for our end of year project.

The main points of the brief are:

1. must be an item used by refugees or aid organisation in the event of a disaster.

2. must be electro-mechanical

Some of the ideas floating around the class are model rescue vehicles, wind-up torches. My idea, so far, is to make an emergency radio kit of some sort.

I was hoping the element14 community could pitch in ideas for me or just help me with my radio idea because from what iv seen here, you people are a lot smarter than I am.

Our classroom has all the tools and equipment you'd expect, laser cutter, lathe so keep that in mind.

Thanks in advance -Liam.

    How about a solar powered water still to generate clean drinking water?

    There is always room for a new design that uses readily available materials.

    You could add a solar UV light source for extra sterilization.

    260 nm LEDs may be a bit expensive, but there are other sources - even the sun - if you concentrate enough sunlight it might do the job.
